How Women Fish.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Did you ever see woman fish, don't mean
a female fish, but a woman in the act OF fishing.
If she's got to go out to buy a paper of pins a
yard of ribbon when it is wet she'll load herself
up with rubber, and pair of artics, and An
umbrella, and neck protector She is too deli
cate for drop of rain to touch her. But she'll
go ont in boat a wet day and let the rain
come down on her and the waves dash over her,
and stand soaking like the hardest sailorman.
There were four ladies once went fishing. They
selected very rainy day, and they had all their
waterproof cloaks and head and feet covering.
They were all by themselves when they took a
boat and went to fish. 1t was in Maine. With
true feminine earnestness they started off with
out anything to put the fish in. They had an
elegant time until they caught pickerel. When
they caught the pickerei they didn't know what
to DO with it. 1t was alive and Topping. They
had 1t in the bottom of the boat They wonder
| ed why it didn't lie quite. At last happy and
benign thought struck one of them.
poor thing! It's getting all wet lying in the
| rain"
! And she whipped off her waterproof and wrap
| ped it up in It, Each of the four caught a pick
| erel, and each of the four wrapped it up in her
| waterproof and the rain wet them through to
| the skln but thoy kept their fish dry all the
| same.

The Sizes of Books.

The average reader and book-b buyer is con-
stantly put to his wits end to decide what con-
stitutes a duodecimo, 16mo, an octave, acrown
octave, etc. In truth, there is absolutely no
fixed law which governs this question. Pre-
sumably the size of book is determined by the
number of folds of the paper which forms a
signature" but the length and breadth of paper
vary greatly that the number of folds really
dicates nothing of the size of a books page. In
England they have just made an attempt to fix
unon a new scale of standards as follows:

A Mechanical BIow Pine.

Ireland is famous for its stout and its
whisky, and it also promises to become so for
its bottles. An Irishman, Mr.. Francis Haz-
lett, has invented, and an Irish company
have brought out, q mechanical apparatus
for blowing glass by the mouth. Hitherto it
has been considered impossible to improve
upon the human lungs, and so the glass blow
ers of the world have gone on putting them
selves away at AZ years of age, which is tho
low average of life among the handcrafts-
men. The new invention dispenses entirely
with the human lungs, and injects tho air
into the molten glsss by an air pump not I'M
like an ordinary syringe in shape and action.
This Is fastened TO the ordinary blow pipe and
makes little difference to the workman in
handling. Manifestly the invention is OF nd
vantage TO the workman, and as to the en-
ployer, it will enable him to produce bottles
at two and half times greater speed.-Chi-

In passing him remarked that it would be

Swedish Social Etiquette.

All through Sweden social intercourse is en-
numbered with much ceremonious etiquette,
particularly among the landed gentry. Tho
three Scandinavian tongues employ the two
personal pronouB "thou" and "you," the first
Familiarity, the second when speaking to q
mere acquaintance. But well bred Swedish
Agentleman addressing stranger will always,
with old fashioned courtesy, substitute the
equivalent for Monsieur" regardless of hai'-
rowing repetitions, and where n title is de-
lnanded, even under the difficulties of rapid
speech, it is never for moment omitted. AS
such politeness, however, in the end becomes
both monotonous and wearisome, they have
practical way of cutting the Gordian knot
When casual acquaintanceship has ripened
into genial sympathy or mutual respect, your
Swedish friend at once proposes "a brother
hood" This is distinct social ordeal, the
initiation to which demands a special rite.
The man who has requested the honor Of be-
coming your brother provides you with n
glass of wine filled to the brim, he himself
holding another; both rise, each linking the
right arm of each; looking one another boldly
In the eyes and pronouncing the words: "Skal
bror!" the beakers ore emptied. Hence you
arc expected to use the pronoun "thou," and
you take your stand on the footing of
relationship. Among the "reminiscences Of
this visit to Vermland is an evening when l
acquired no less than six new and stalwart
brothers. On the subject of anciemie polit-
esse, should mention, by the way that there
is well known Swedish gentleman who al
ways gives precedence to his own son, because
''he has one ancestor more than his father. -

Memory of Hotel Clerks.

The general impression that hotel clerks
have to be phenomenal in the matter Of men,
DRY is not strictly correct. A good memory
is indeed very useful thing to hotel man,
and his very occupation WILL in the course of
time, work n great improvement in it..
But the idea that every hotel clerk is a
mnemonc prodigy is false. Mr.. j. w. Shea,
of the Gilsey house, said recently, in speaking
of this subject: "Many people are extremely
sensitive If you forget their names, and there
is scarcely any one who is not pleased If you
step up to him, after years absence, and
seem to remember all about him ut once.
But, with all our care, we often forget tho
name of an important guest. and sometimes
n great deal of finesse is necessary to avoid
disagreeable complications.
"Quite frequently we will pretend not to
see man at all, and seem to be busy doing
something about the desk, when us a matter
of fact we are waiting to watch him sign his
name. Although the signature may be up
side down to us, we can frequently get hint
from it, and as soon as we catch on TO the
name we bounce out and salute him like a
long lost brother. No, sir, a hotel clerk il
not a mere memorizing machine. He must
be something Of n diplomat MS well."-Nev

Internal Revenue ",rixed Drinks"

When whisky, rum, gin, or any Of the
'tuff known as "hard liquors" are now TO.
ceived they are all mixed together and poured
into barrels. This destroys the distinctive
quality of each and makes compound that
the hardest drinker would turn from in dis
gust, and whose smell alone would make q
sober man see snakes When about ten bar
rels of thi- has accumulated tho collector Of
internal revenue is notified, and he sends one
Of his officers to gauge the liquor and certify
10 the proof and amount. The officer also
secs personally to its delivery to the distillery
where it has been sold. For after the stuff
has been made unfit for its original purpose,
it may DO made salable again in the form Of
alcohol by being distilled The purchaser
pays for it at the highest market price in pro
portion to the amount Of alcohol which it
contains as shown by the internal revenue Of
ncer's certificate, and which averages ninety
six cents per gallon. Wines ore served in the
same way.-Boston Advertiser.

Tho Trade In House Snfes.

ave do big trade in house safes" re-
marked a safe manufacturer TO n reporter.
~ might say truthfully that it represents
one-tenth of the entire safe industry OF the
country. In some cases the safe is walled in,
but in more modest families it is a movable
safe, mainly i:5ed for plate, and kept in the
dining room, sometimes finished in way as
to look very much like sideboard. There is
very little attempt to make them either fire
proof or burglar proof. As general thing
they are made simply of boiler iron, with
combination locks. That is quite enough to
battle the ordinary house burglar, while the
high toned bank burglar wouldn't waste his
time over it, as he knows the haul wouldn't
be worth his trouble. Philadelphia Call.

Tho Secret of the y-Shaped Rack.

When woman begins to show her age the
first part to lose its firm, youthful contour is
the face and chin, then the neck and bust,
and no amount of alum water washes nor
"astringent pomades' will restore firmness to
the flabby muscles, and it then becomes nee
essary to look about for some other beauty
that nature spared little longer, and the up
per part Of the arms and the back keep their
whiteness and delicacy long after the rest Of
the woman is passe. For that reason was the
V-shaped back invented, and therefore were
sleeveless waists made which leave the arm ex-
posed up above the shoulder Long gloves
hide many wrinkled hand and withered
forearm, and the modestly high front of the
waist wells the faded bust, while the bacl,
velvet ribbon tied tightly around the throat
retains the loose flesh in its snug embrace,
while it whtens the rest of the neck by con-
trast and it also sustains the baggy double
chin, together with tho wrinkle annihilator,"
which is made of alum and paraffine and a
little sweet almond oil-Newport Cor. Ro-
